Hello,
my Proxmox machine ran a backup of the VMs and filled up my disk, causing VM issues.
I'm trying to reduce the disk back down to minimum levels so backups can complete.
I then transfer the backups to a NAS storage PC, to keep the Proxmox disk empty with just Proxmox running and ready for backups.
This is what I really have when physically looking with my own eyes:
4 x 120 GB SSDs to setup RAID.
1 x 500 GB HDD for daily backups.
1 x 250 GB HDD for daily backups.
This # df -h command shows what disks are mounted on Proxmox. Strangely 55G, but should be 120GB.
# fdisk -l shows all the physical disks connected on the Proxmox machine.
# parted -l shows
Any help on how to sort out my disks please?
